It depends on what's causing it. You kind of have to work on the cause of the behavior, not just the behavior.

Or more like

Cause - behavior - consequence

Sometimes consequence (negative attention) can be a reinforcer (my son loves going to the director's office)

Try to keep track of when she displays these behaviors - you will see a pattern.
